Hi there,

I was hoping to get the opinion fo some people who have worked with Ollin swords. I am wondering how good their work is, especially when compared to others like Albion and Arms and Armor. They seem really nice, and know how to do alot of different things. I am a litle worried though that they may be better on the fantasy stuff and lack in the historical department - and I want my sword to be as historical and functional as possible. Does anyone have any thoughts or can lend any help? Thanks!

I would highly recommend OlliN's work. Their quality is top notch. I own many production and custom swords and my OlliN swords rank among my favorites. I think their most notable quality is their customer service which I can honestly say is the best I've had (by far!) from any custom smith. I have 2 sword from them currently and 2 more on the way all of which are historically based. I would recommend contacting them directly to discuss your project.

Can't recommend OlliN enough. Great guys, and their blades are fantastic. They do great historical work from the few pieces I've seen. The best thing though is the guys themselves. I've never worked with anyone who is as customer oriented and up front as they are.

Seconded, or thirded or whatever what has already been written.

Thanks for the help guys, it is much appreciated. Whoever I talked to was indeed very helpfull (wish I could remember who it was). I know that I will be getting good service. I believe you all have helped me make my choice. Thanks again!

Some of their stuff looks tempting I might send them a design to see what they say.

I sent an email two days ago with regards to a project, and haven't yet gotten
a reply ... for what that's worth of course. B-)

They might be better with phones. I talked to one of them on the phone for a while and he was very helpful.
